below the knee rack pulls

best use for improving your vertical jump

The below the knee rack pulls is fantastic for overloading the glutes and developing a powerful hip extension. Due to the reduced range of motion when compared to a regular barbell deadlift you can use a greater amount of weight to overload the muscles in a range of motion more specific to a vertical jump. It can also be easier on the lower back for the same reason.

You can use heavier weights for developing pure strength, or go lighter for building explosiveness.

technique tips

The key things to focus on are:

contract your gluten hard at the top of the lift

reset between every rep (you can see me doing this on the video)

ensure you have a full belly of air to help brace your spine
